Matthew 20:26-28
New English Translation

26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave[a]— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom[b] for many.”

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 20:27 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
  2. Matthew 20:28 sn The Greek word for ransom (λύτρον, lutron) is found here and in Mark 10:45 and refers to the payment of a price in order to purchase the freedom of a slave. The idea of Jesus as the “ransom” is that he paid the price with his own life by standing in our place as a substitute, enduring the judgment that we deserved for sin.
